BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I feel about this the way that other bisexuals feel about The Mummy.

Do I think After The Hunt is going to be good? No. But the Ayo Edebiri/Andrew Garfield press tour is my favorite show of the year so far.

I respect it!! It’s wrong, but so confidently.

In the 90's, there was one random Anne Rice or Dean Koontz within 3 meters of you, no matter where you were. They were what you had nearby to read, so you read em.

I take three ibuprofen, drink a cup of coffee and a large glass of water, and then either close my eyes OR, if I feel like it might help, go for a walk. (A walk helps if it’s a tension headache only but most of mine are.) But the coke is a good call.

Also if the bagels are fresh, I get a poppyseed and don’t toast it. If they’re old at all, to the point that I’m going to toast the bagel, then I get a sesame. I just think the sesame seeds on a bagel need a little more direct heat to be the best option.

I don’t need Erin to comment on this, I just want to tell you guys that my order is a poppyseed bagel with plain or scallion cream cheese, lox, and capers. MAYBE a slice of tomato if it’s tomato season. Otherwise no vegetables, because it makes it too watery.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Here’s the thing: the story is never that good. That’s my whole point! She’s not putting in appearance on Severance.

It was like “a bacon, cheese, and egg on an English muffin with no bacon because I’m watching my figure.” Way to make a normal question weird!!!

I think with food it sort of is!!! I also just think people want bagel orders etc to be a shibboleth for identity when actually people can eat whatever they want, and I feel that way until I read Cuomo’s order and it feels so Wrong that I’m glad someone asked.
harrietvane.bsky.social
It IS unhinged but I respect it as the order of someone who has eaten a lot of bagels and figured out exactly what she likes.

That is exactly what I’ve heard. AND that everyone gets to go home at a normal time because two of the main actors are old and don’t want to film 14 hour days (This is unheard of in TV).

Still incredible that they’ve gotten Meryl Streep on three seasons of Only Murders in the Building.

ALSO it should be easier to find the room service menu online. It’s not one of the most important things about a hotel but someone in a situation where they simply must order room service (tired, hungover, in the middle of a sex marathon) should be able to locate it pretty easily.

You don’t have to have 24 hours pancakes but you need SOMETHING sweet and SOME egg sandwich. This is still the United States of America!!
harrietvane.bsky.social
But like. Come on. Room service at a hotel should offer some sort of all-day breakfast!! What if people are coming from somewhere weird? No one wants to eat a Caesar salad when they wake up no matter what time zone they find themselves in.

Doing some writing research and forming strong opinions about room service menus that I will never order from.

It turns out my fear tolerance is pretty high when it’s just a book and there are no jump scares.

It is hard because I can’t listen to it at night when I’m alone in the house.

I’ve never read a Stephen King book before and somehow I’m determined that I’ll get through 44 hours of this one in October.

I’m currently reading Fun Home (paper) and It (audio), and same??

It’s totally fine, it only happens to me once every few months.
